Alex.
While we are discussing this matter...
What is your opinion for having OPC-HDA setup ?
i.e.:
PI API for OPC <- AIM*OPC HDA Server <- AIM*API <- OM API
> Are you aware of anyone using OPC-HAD for PI (or any other plant historian) ?
> If so, what is the experience so far ?
> Any tips/tricks ?
Thank you in advance...

I recommend the PI software that uses FoxAPI as opposed to OPC. Why? Simple -
fewer layers of code are better.
PI API for OPC <- AIM*OPC DA Server <- AIM*API <- OM API
Or
PI API for OPC <- FoxAPI <- OM API
Fewer things to go wrong.

Subject: [foxboro] OPC or API on Windows box and AIM Historian
We will be upgrading our historian sometime in the next year to three years.
Are there advantages to using OPC rather than the API to the beloved PI
historian? Or are there nightmares waiting to make some bad days and nights.
Just curious before any jump is made. Or this may be the Ford, Chevy, or Dodge
discussion.
Regards and Thank you
